Megan Holmes was the daughter of Luke and Stacy Holmes, and the first ghost to be summoned by Sal Fisher.
Appearance
Megan was short, though this is to be expected given her age. Her hair was purple, like her mother's, but muted like the black of her father's. Her eyes were purple in life, and milky white in death. She wore a too-long gray nightgown. Before her death she wore a golden cross necklace that her mother had given her[1] and had belonged to her grandmother[2].
Personality
Megan's demeanor was one typical of a child; she was very sweet and trusting, and like most children, many of her thoughts were likely parroted opinions, such as the "girlish" nature of Sal's pigtails and her distaste for Larry's cursing.
Biography
For the most part, Megan Holmes lived a relatively normal childhood in Nockfell with her parents and late sister[3]. They lived in a suburban home for some time[4] but moved to Addison Apartments[5] sometime before Megan and her parents' deaths in 1987.
Megan's death was the result of her father's being influenced by Red-Eyes, as well as her mother's infidelity[6] and distrust in the cult[7] . She seems to have been murdered in the bathtub of Room 504[8], which she spent her afterlife haunting, though official records state she drowned in an accident at Wendigo Lake[9].
Between 1987 and 1992, she was seen at least once, by Chug[10]. In 1992, she was contacted by Sal, by both Sal and Larry in 1993 using her cross necklace, and finally again by Sal in 1994. She was assimilated alongside the other ghosts in the weeks before the return of The Dark.
Trivia
- Megan is playable in both the House of the Wretched and In Seeking Providence minigames.
- When she was alive, she longed to work at the zoo, as she loved animals[11].
